He Likes ‘Em Spicy
I am Latina and my now ex-boyfriend was white. Race was never an issue between us. I speak a little Spanish, but I come from a very Americanized family. I had never experienced serious issues with race growing up because my town was very diverse and everyone got along well. When I went to college 3 hours away, things still weren’t too bad but I did learn that there are some very ignorant people in the world.
My skin is fair and my hair is straight and light brown, so unless you knew me, you might not even think I was Latina. I met my boyfriend in college and we were very happy together. He knew all about me and my family and was excited to learn what little I knew about my heritage. He never made rude remarks or made nasty jokes, and that is why I was so surprised when I met his family. It all started during one weekend when my boyfriend and his roommates were having a barbecue. My boyfriend’s family had come into town to visit. He introduced me to them and everything was going well. Then, a friend of ours who is Latin and named Adrian stopped by and his mom whispers to his dad “uh oh, hide your wallet and your purses! The party is getting dark.” I could not believe what I had heard. I’m standing not 2 feel from her and she says something so nasty about someone she doesn’t even know. Trying to keep things peaceful, I just went on with the evening as though nothing was wrong. Things came to a boiling point when the barbecue was wrapping up. Another friend of ours named Sarah had been by and she had met my boyfriend’s parents. After she had left, his mom was in the kitchen with his aunt and I hear her say “we should have had that little Mexican girl stay and clean up. She would have had this place spotless in no time!” I finally just broke and came into the room and said “excuse me, but I am Latina and I hear everything you are saying, and it is really offensive.” His mom made this little giggle and tried to laugh it off, looking me in my face and saying “well, he does like ‘em spicy!” It wasn’t funny, she was being horrible and felt just fine with it. I went crying to my boyfriend, who basically dismissed the whole thing and said that that was just how i=his family was and that I should just accept it. He actually said that I was being rude for speaking up and confronting them. I wasn’t going to stick around and listen to her bash my friends for no reason, so I called a friend and asked her to pick me up. My boyfriend must have been looking for an out anyway, because he called me later saying that it just wasn’t going to work between us because I had upset his parents and that I was really rude to his family. At that point I was actually relieved because there was no way I could have stuck around knowing that my boyfriend’s family is openly racist and proud!

Wow. Yuck. Good Riddance. What a miserable bunch.
Holy crap, good job taking out the trash!
Seriously, nobody should have to tolerate that from anybody, especially their boyfriend and his family.
I just don’t know what else can be said on the matter. You’ll find someone much better than that.
What a family of morons! OP, you did good standing up for yourself. Not a lot of people would have even said anything. I can’t wait for all the “if it was me I would have said…” stories. Those are always entertaining.
Yeah, those Latin people are real assholes. They host massive orgies and just fuck absolutely everyone over at parties.
It’s sad that these kinds of things still happen. I’m not sure how or why anyone can act like that towards other people. You are better off without that family of losers OP.
Good job for standing up for yourself, OP.
In other news, due to the stupid snowstorm, I wasn’t able to go home last night & ended up staying the night in Bemidji, MN, about 6 hours from home and on the wrong side of the border. Boo.
OP, proud of you for sticking up for yourself.
Pixie, sorry to hear your travel woes.
I hope you took their wallets and purses before you left.
I love how when you stick up for yourself (or your friends or whathaveyou) people call it being rude. Like THEIR comments were totally normal…sheesh…
